Hideki Kamiya, regisseur van het opkomende Scalebound en bekend van titels zoals Resident Evil, Devil May Cry en Bayonetta, heeft onlangs een interview gegeven aan Gamespot. Hierin zegt hij dat het spel meerdere keren aan de kant is geschoven omdat het geen succesvol idee leek te zijn en dat het spel eigenlijk een Wii game had moeten worden.
“If you look at the long span of it, the first idea [for Scalebound] was when we started the company and were thinking of ideas and games that we want to make. The idea popped up there, but then we made Bayonetta. Then after Bayonetta, we revived the idea and made a prototype but that prototype failed and the game got cancelled. It was put on a backburner for a variety of reasons and we moved on to The Wonderful 101.
When they first started, the idea was for a Wii game and we wanted to use a Wii remote to do the orders for the dinosaurs. You were in control of the dinosaurs, you were ordering the dinosaurs around, and they’d do cool things. Then after we made Bayonetta, we started the prototype. The first thing that I made a change to was making it a dragon game.”
Scalebound zal volgens de planning laat in 2016 verschijnen voor de Xbox One. Wat wij vonden van de Gamescom demo kun je hier lezen.
